We are used to considering childhood as the happiest and most carefree time of our lives, forgetting how defenseless children are in the face of stress and pain. Numerous studies have confirmed that divorce or constant quarrels between parents, the death of loved ones, bullying by peers or domestic violence cause various diseases and disorders. Stress causes the strongest changes in the body, changing the body chemistry, and a mentally or physically traumatized child turns into an adult with ruined health. In her book, Donna Jackson Nakazawa tells the stories of people who managed to overcome the severe consequences of childhood shocks and heal. You will not only learn how to help yourself cope with the past, but also understand how to break the vicious circle of stress and diseases passed from generation to generation.
From this book you will learn:
- Why the brain gets stuck in the past and how to change it.
- How emotional shocks affect life expectancy.
- Is it possible to correct health problems by working with memories?
- How chronic stress changes our DNA.
- How the effects of stress differ in boys and girls.
